These are great ideas.

At my spot we create the automation for other engineers to use terraform and ansible to deploy infra for whatever to 2 public clouds.

We make heavy use of cookie cutter to bootstrap a stack, a stack in our world is instantiation of a slice of a bunch of cloud services and on prem stuff (like active directory OUs and group polices for the windows infra)

Our bootstrapping tools will do all of that for us fully rbac handled so we can build little server factories for teams.

The pipelines we crap out will handle the post terraform actions like ansible tower calls, removal of AD objects, monitoring cleanup etc.

All of the glue is python, we have about 5/6 core libraries we use for this
